Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 4 Wu's doubts

Doudou's originally tense face relaxed a little at this moment.After receiving the cucumber, he didn't eat it right away. He raised his head and looked at Feng Yao, his eyes slowly became moist again: "Mother, you won't leave Doudou behind, will you?"

The childish and immature voice was full of caution and longing, Feng Yao felt as if she was being beaten hard on the heart by something.After a pause, he touched his head and said, "Why would I leave you?" She had promised his mother that she would take good care of him.She has never been a person who broke her promise, and no matter how hard it is in the future, she will never leave him alone.

The extreme light suddenly shot out from Doudou's watery eyes, as if the dark sky had suddenly cleared up, revealing its original clarity and brilliance.Suddenly jumped off the small wooden stake, hugged Feng Yao's leg and said cheerfully: "Mother, mother! Doudou knew that you would not leave Doudou behind! Mother is the best! Doudou don't go with them , Doudou doesn’t like to eat any crown prince! Doudou likes to eat cucumbers!” After finishing speaking, Ga Beng bit off the head of the little cucumber.

Feng Yao couldn't help smiling, patted his head, turned around and walked to the stove to cook.However, when his eyes fell on the rice vat and the noodle vat, his expression froze.

There are only a handful of rice grains in the jar, and only a small handful of flour left. After one meal, the next meal will not be known.Feng Yao's face gradually sank, she took a broken bowl with a chip, rolled up her sleeves and stretched her hands into the jar, picked out all the rice grains at the bottom of the jar, washed them clean, poured them into the pot, and added two scoops of water into them.The sparse rice grains were washed up by the water and slowly scattered on the bottom of the black pot.

Such a little food is not enough for two people.Feng Yao's face is sombre, your lord is fine, it doesn't matter if you go hungry for a meal or two, Doudou is growing up, is this how the Feng family treats Doudou?
Mobilizing the memory in his brain, he became more and more angry.If Feng Shi is a weak and incompetent woman, that's fine, her ability is limited, and Doudou is unlucky to be her son after being reincarnated.But the Feng family is obviously extremely capable. When she was a girl at home, no one in Moshui Village could match her work.After getting married, because Shen Yunzhi read books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are not small expenses. Embroidery, farming, and feeding livestock are well organized inside and out, and everyone gives a thumbs up when they mention it.

"Sister? Has sister cooked?" Wu's voice came from outside the yard, interrupting Feng Yao's memories.Feng Yao stuffed the firewood into the bottom of the pot, stood up, patted the dust and went out, only to see Mrs. Wu walking in with a basket: "I saw that group of bastards ruining your family like this, I'm afraid you and Dou Dou didn't have anything to eat, so I brought you some steamed buns."

Feng Yao took the basket and placed it on a small table roughly nailed together from a few wooden boards in the room: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Hi, why are you so polite?" Wu's loud voice was full of warmth, "Are you ready to cook? Let me see what you are doing?" Wu walked to the stove and poured a little She poked her head, and when she saw the few grains of rice scattered in the pot, she couldn't help but lower her face: "You just give this to Doudou?" When she looked at Feng Yao again, the intimacy disappeared.

Feng Yao received her reproachful gaze, and sighed inwardly.Who made Wu Shi a mother?This mother, whenever she sees a little baby, her heart softens into a puddle of water, and she doesn't want her to be sad at all.Wu's treatment of her two children was excruciatingly painful, seeing that Doudou couldn't even afford to eat, it's no wonder that her face looked better!
Although it is the mess left by Feng Shi and has nothing to do with Feng Yao, but since Feng Shi's body is occupied, she has to suffer together: "Sister-in-law, I'll pour water for you." Feng Yao pointed to the side of the bed , picked up the notched bowl on the stove, and scooped a bowl of water from the jar.It's rude to treat Wu Shi who brought food like this.But who let there be nothing at home?If you open your mouth and drive Mrs. Wu back, it's not the way to treat guests.

"Come on, let's cook." Wu's voice was a little cold, she glanced at Doudou who was following Feng Yao like a tail, rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll help you."

"No, sister-in-law, sit down. If sister-in-law is not in a hurry to go back to eat, and help me feed Doudou something to eat, Doudou will be hungry already." Feng Yao said, walking towards the pile of vegetables in the corner.Squat down and rummage through it, and finally found two soft carrots and two or three potatoes the size of eggs.

"That's fine." Wu replied, sitting on a small wooden post with Doudou in her arms, opened a corner of the basket, and said with a smile: "Look what Auntie brought you?" Under four or five white flour steamed buns, there is a Oiled paper bag, Mrs. Wu opened a seam, and in an instant, a tempting fragrance wafted out.Doudou's eyes lit up, and she jumped up in surprise: "Yes—"

Mrs. Wu covered Doudou's mouth, and took out the paper bag with a smile. Without the steamed bun to cover it, the fragrance became stronger.Feng Yao looked over in surprise, and saw Wu Shi opened the paper bag, revealing a large piece of fragrant meat, turned to her and said, "Shengcai caught a wild rabbit in the field, and it happened to be stewed when I went back. I just picked up a piece and brought it to you." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the thing in Feng Yao's hand, and suddenly his eyes widened: "The day before yesterday I saw you dig a big basket of potatoes and bring them home, all of them are round and plump. Eat this?"

Staring at the carrot that was not much thicker than a thumb in Fengyao's hand, and the potato the size of an egg, Mrs. Wu was surprised and annoyed: "Did you ask Mrs. Zhu to take it away again? You, tell me what to say! Doudou is only three years old. Years old, such a small child, if you starve him all day long, can he grow strong and strong? Why are you so ignorant?"

Feng Shi is a very capable woman. Even if she is given a few acres of Susukida, she can still harvest plump and huge potatoes.The reason why these two are left is because they were all taken away by Feng's mother, Zhu.

The corners of Feng Yao's mouth twitched, a little embarrassed, and she scolded Feng Shi a hundred times in her heart.This Feng family is good everywhere, the only flaw is that she is a foolish filial piety!Before she was rested by Shen Yunzhi, her in-laws were pressing her above her, and Shen Yunzhi was exploiting her beside her, so the signs didn't show.

But after being retired, Feng held Doudou and lived in an old house that had not been lived in for many years at the end of Moshui Village, farming a few acres of Susukida, occasionally doing some embroidery work, and gradually accumulated some money on hand.As for Feng's mother, Zhu Shi knew her abilities very well, so she came to sweep every once in a while, collecting every penny, and wrapped all the fresh and juicy vegetables with a big bag.

The wilting little cucumber Fengyao picked up for Doudou before, as well as the carrots and potatoes in her hands now, are all left over from Mrs. Zhu's disdain.

"Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore. I just told Shengcai and my parents about everything, and I planned to get it back for you after dinner. But seeing your soft temper, Most likely we are good people in vain." Wu's voice was very cold, "What's the difference between the ten taels of silver in the hands of your sister-in-law Cheng and in the hands of your mother Zhu? According to your temperament, even if we ask for it for you Come back, and in a blink of an eye, I asked Mrs. Zhu to let you go."

Ms. Wu lamented her misfortune, angrily finished her speech indisputably, put down Doudou and stood up: "I'm leaving, you can just take care of yourself."

"Sister-in-law, wait a minute!" Feng Yao called to Wu Shi who came to the door, and said, "Sister-in-law, this time, I have to ask you to support me. I will definitely get this money back."

Wu Shi turned around in surprise, looked at Feng Yao with a cold expression, and couldn't believe it: "You...?"

Feng Yao smiled: "What else can I not figure out? Cheng is my younger brother and sister. She watched me being beaten. Not only did she not stand up for me, but she ran away after picking up my money, and did not go to the village. Call someone to save me. On the contrary, it was you, sister-in-law, who came to see me in a hurry and brought food for me and Doudou. In contrast, such a mother’s family, don’t mind it!"
